A shaved-headed priest seen from behind, wearing an orange cloth and rudraksha malas on his wrists and neck, raises a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps. He stands on a red carpet inside a temple shrine. Ahead, a framed portrait labelled with a printed name shows a figure in an orange turban and orange robes, set in an ornate gold frame with a small lamp below. Strings of warm bokeh lights frame the doorway, and a red-and-gold deity murti stands at right. Another person in orange sits in the background.
